Smiling Musicians was created by Barry Nunnelee to engage students in fun songs, musical games and movement to music.

These classes are for the student that enjoys music and wants to extend their musical experience. It is also for the student that would like to spend time with their friends in a fun and engaging way through music.

Mr. Nunnelee has 37 years experience as an music educator with a master's degree in music education. He was the music teacher when the school opened in 2006 and wrote the words and music to the School Song. He spent 17 years at Clayton Elementary School as a music educator prior to retiring in 2023.
